I wonder if there's a good way to sell such a concept onto a political landscape. Anyone who already owns anything would want to keep things as they are. Feels like a very central political problem.
Those that have accumulated wealth and power it would be in their interest to increase rather than decrease the scheme-ines of the political system.
This concept has to have a name?

Indeed, jt is perhaps the most central political problem: how does a class that doesn't have power wrestle it from those who already have power? As for the name, how about "human history"? :)
